· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)

Arlington (U.S.), June 26 (EFE) - Lionel Scaloni, coach of the Argentine national team, confirmed on Friday that Lionel Messi will be a substitute against Jordan in the third match of Group J of the 2026 World Cup, which will take place at AT&T Stadium in Arlington. "Leo will be on the bench," Scaloni responded to the first question of the press conference, posed by Enrique Macaya, a prominent figure in Argentine journalism, who at 91 years old is attending his eighteenth World Cup and inquired whether Messi would be a starter. "I answer you because it’s you; the second question you asked me (about the starting team) I will keep to myself. Leo will come in later," he revealed.
